This year's field season was a bit less intensive because sometimes life is complicated. Ben led the charge with ground squirrels and collected Richardson's to send to colleagues in Chile as well as Columbian ground squirrels in Fernie, along with Krista, Olivia and Lauren. Andy completed his shortest field season ever for ruffed grouse with the aim of collecting a few more specimens for Golgi staining and to send samples to the Fuxjager lab.
